Contractor sought to remove courthouse mold

The Nuckolls County Board of Commissioners met at the county courthouse in Nelson Monday. All three commissioners were present.

The board approved the contract with the Nebraska Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (NIRMA). The not-for profit, member owned organization provides risk management and self-insurance for member entities.

The board, in a procedural move, denied the Lawrence Rural Fire District levy request.

The board received a request from Casey Muzic for the annual funding request for Midland Area on Aging.

The board approved hiring a consulting firm to formulate specs for bid letting of the basement cleanup project. There is extensive mold buildup as well as water damage along with other issues to be resolved in the basement.

The courthouse will be closed Wednesday in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. County offices will reopen at regular times Thursday.

The board will meet at 8:30 a.m., Monday, at the county courthouse.
